MINNEsOTA's FAIRS.
An Eastern Paper Sizes Them Up
in a FIattering Way.

Minnesota is evidently in good stand
ing among Eastern men who have
watched how things are done in this
section of the country. The Spirit of
the Times, in speaking of fairs held in
this state, has the following to say
of the annual exhibition at Ham
line: Weare not given to making un-
favorable comparisons, but if our East
ern state fair associations should desire
to make special efforts for the encour-
agement of speed departments they
could adopt some of the ideas of their
sister associations in the West. The ST.
Louis, Minnesota and Illinois state fairs
are proverbial for the excellence of
their speed departments and the i'm
mense audiences during the contests.
AT these great eXp0SitionS the kings and
queens of the trotting turf meet in con
tention. Why the highest class of per-
formers are to be seen at these annual
gatherings is no secret. Their owners
are offered sufficient inducements, and
in in :; turn for the outlay incurred by the
fair associations the public repayS ten
fold at the gates. The benefit to the
fair management and the public is re-
clprocal. Locking at the matter in a
purely business light, it pays the state
or even county societies to be liberal.
We publish in this number of the
Spirit the announcement of three guar
antae trotting stakes offered by the Min
nesota State Fair society. AS usual, the
great Northwestern organization does
the handsome thing. The society offers
guaranteed stake purses of $500 each
for the 3, 1872 and 2:22 classes, for which
four are required to fill and three to
start.
The conditions are most generously
made. The stakes will be trotted for
during the state fair, at Hamline, Sept.
8 to II, and horses eligible for them
June %, at the time of closing, will be
eligible for the race. The entrance to
each stake is $780, of which $3.50 is
payable June %, $3.50 July 90, S62.5O
Aug. 30, when horses must be named,
and the balance (S62.50) Sept. 10. The
stakes will be divided into premiums of
so, %, Is and 10 per cent, and will be
under the American association rules,
of which the society is member.

DETAINED AT THE JAIL.

A Woman Under Indictment Wis
its a Prisoner and Is Asked to
Stop.
Mary McAuliff, who was indicted
by the grand jury with James
O'Neill on the charge of adultery, but
who has never been apprehended, was

band, who resides in the Northwest
Territory. The woman has been pay

spect to the dead. A few comrades of
the G. A. r., stood up around the plain
casket, and Comrade w. j. Sloppy, COM
mander of Acker post, read the funeral
service of the q. A. r. There were no
tears-only few lOng-drawn signs, as
they lifted the box into a hearse, and
followed it to Oakland cemetery, where
it was lowered into grave in the shadow
of the marble monuments which tell
the resting place of more honored pa
triots gone before.
Mark North was brave soldier who
enlisted in Company c., of the Fifth
Minnesota in 1860, and endured four
years of fighting and hardship for his
country. The end of the war left HIM a
broken down man, and the seeds of the
dread disease, consumption, gained a hold
upon his system. He had no family,
and died alone at st. Joseph's hospital
on Saturday night.

All that day Mr.. Finch was kept busy
driving off men who had dragged all

door and wanted to sell it to him. About
4 80 p. m. he was called to the door and
there stood twenty-four horses, with
their tails done up in burlap, blocking
up the street. A tieshy man, with a sun

JUDsoN's PRACTICAL JOKE.

He Sends Several Hundred Horses
to be Inspected. by Friend.
f. NJ. Finch, who keeps a jewelry
store on Third street, told r. c. Judson
last Friday that he wanted to purchase
hOrse--a gentle horse of modest de-
meanor that would allow women to fool
with him; horse with no pride in his
spirit and entirely devoid of guile.
While Mr.. Finch was making his want
known JudSon was filling dis pockets
with Finch's cards from large dish on
the show ease and soon after departed.
Saturday morning when Mr.. Finch
went down to his store he found thir-
teen horses hitched in front and thirteen
men rushed up to him and sain: Il
heard you wanted to buy horSe."
Mr.. Finch didn't deny the insinuation
but was considerably surprised at the
Wis bic supply of negotiable hOrSeflesh,
and holding up his hands in warning
way, said: peace, be STILL"
He looked over the thirteen horses
and found nothing that suited him, and
one By one dismissed them; but hardly

MISS INTELLIGENT.
The Only Woman Of the Little
Christabel Mine.

The little ChriStabelmin in Colora-
do long ago went through n process
vulgarly called ''pctering out" 1t is
now q mere hole in the ground. The
half-dozcn shanties and cabins near 1t
have long ago fallen into disuse.
Their roofs have fallen in, and 1t is
years since the gulch in which their
ruins are was the habitation OF mon.
The entire gulch is deserted now, and
the Little Christabel is only o memory
TO those who once shared in the pros
perity it once brought to Fairplay
Gulch.
When the mine was most productive
il gave employment TO as many rs one
hundred men. most of whom lived in
the cabins near the mouth Of its main
shaft.
A long. narrow pile of decaying
logs and parts of clapboard roof
mark the spot where the boarding
house was. There are still living many
of the men who once gathered around
the long. rough pine table that ran the
full length of the cabin. One OF them
told me the story of Miss Millicent.
Miss Millicent Hay was the only
woman ever seen at the Little Christa-
bel mine.
When Harley Vance, the owner OF
the mine. advertised in aDenver paper
for cook for his clearinghouse Miss
Millicent Hay answered the advertise
ment in person.
She came walking up tho trail lead
Ing 10 the camp, carrying little hand
satchel and stout walking stick.
81 have been staying down in Camp
Crystal" she said to the surprised Mr..
Vance, who had advertised for man
cook. .'and thought the place would
Just suit me. The stage brought me
to the mouth of the gulch and l walked
the rest of the way. 1t isn't more than
six miles, is it?'
She was asmall but resolute-looking
woman. with keen gray eyes and q
mouth indicating great firmness Of
character. Her thin brown hair was
,combed plainly back from brow be-
ginning to show signs Of wrinkles,
although she was but forty years old.
